Mother Pelican: December 2021

Another garnering of significant articles – not least by those with whom we have associate contact like James Lovelock, Ellen Brown, G Monbiot and Luis Gutierrez, the co-ordinator of these strong inputs. Have in mind the urgency of collaboration in creating a critical mass and a process for genuine in-depth change in our human behaviour. Please do offer your comment on any you read and find significant. And consider what you might offer for the next Quarterly of Mother Pelican
